Boing Boing Gadgets at Pop!Tech; Neuros Contest

opera_house_balcony.jpg

I'm in Camden, Maine, liveblogging the Pop!Tech conference on Boing Boing Gadgets. (See: Pop!Tech? You're Soaking In It; Pop!Tech Notes: Chris Jordan; Pop!Tech Notes: Christian Nold and Emotional Mapping of Cities)

There is also a live video stream in case you'd like to drink right from the hose.

While I'm summing up, we also are running a "Prop Contest" by which you can win a Neuros OSD and NAS. (Or get a 20% coupon for doing a survey.)

Stop on by and watch me rein in my pessimism about the entirety of human endeavor!
